Full-hearted Half-Zip

Nope, what you see up there isn't the top of a truck. No surprise—it's a 1979 Porsche 911 Super Carrera.

Why is the collar of Half-Zip Sweaters sometimes called a Trucker Collar?

Well, it all started back in the 1930s when zippers flooded the market. Someone eventually slapped one on a collar, to the trucker's delight. There you have it!

Now, enough with the trivia, let’s get back to our sweater.

Available from 14th May at 10 am (CET)

Like every Asphalte preorder from now on, The Half-Zip Sweatshirt’s available for 6 days only. If you think you might miss it, sign up here to get notified when it kicks off. We'll even hook you up with early access, an hour before the official release so you’re first in line for delivery.

In it for the long haul

Sure, that’s a good-looking car, but let's not get distracted. After all, most of us get around Bordeaux by tram or bike, so we’re not about to go all Top Gear on you.

We're here to tell you that the Half-Zip Sweatshirt is the epitome of comfort and functionality.

A cosy cocoon of organic cotton that you'll want to snuggle into, and zip up and down time and time again.

The MacGyver of Sweatshirts

One glance, and you know, it’s that stand-up collar and zip combo that sets it apart.

Borrowed from iconic trucker jumpers, this neckline is a game-changer thanks to its incredible versatility.

Wear it wide open, half-zipped, or fully closed—whatever your mood or the weather calls for, this sweat's got you covered.

On a cloud of cotton

Ours is made from fleece, a knit derived from jersey. But let’s not disappear down a technical rabbit hole. The main question is is it comfy? The answer is a resounding yes.

Extraordinarily soft and plush, fleece is the ultimate cosy material —a mobile comfort zone for those who demand nothing else.

A tough nut with a tender heart

Our fleece is gentle as a lamb, especially as it’s made from 100% organic cotton. However, tenderness isn't everything in life. We like to find comfort in knowing the clothes we make are durable too.

That's why we've reinforced the ribbing on our Half-Zip Sweatshirt, ensuring it doesn't lose its shape after a couple of washes. It's the Asphalte promise—durability through and through.

6 Days to Secure Yours

There you have it. To sum up, with this sweater you'll be able to bundle up in a comfy, versatile piece that perfectly combines the benefits of a good old-fashioned sweatshirt and a high-neck jumper.

Launching Tuesday at 10 am for 79€ in four stunning colours: indigo blue, grey marl, military green, and off-white, you can expect delivery by mid-August, ahead of the first chilly nights.

And as usual, to avoid missing out, sign up for the alert just below. The first to place their preorder will be the first to receive delivery.
